Moving homes 2014
I’m writing again from my stenograph. Since I was spending a lot of time last week packing away things and moving to a new home, I also had my computer reinstalled and didn’t get a chance to connect my stenograph to my computer so I had to resort to using my QWERTY keyboard to type. I haven’t written about steno stuff in a while, but I can’t tell you how much I missed using it to type and write to people. Continue reading
Sweet and Salty — What chu saying to each other?!
This week’s photo challenge is about dialogue — two pictures “talking” to each other. When I opened up my folders to find a good fit — initially thinking what the heck am I going to use for this challenge –, the first two pictures that I saw “spoke” to me (lol, pun intended!).

Some of you might have seen my facebook picture of three mountains of what looks like shaven ice desserts on a hot summer day. Well, here’s the review for the restaurant where I got it from! (I know, finally, right!).
After some fun at Great Escape, sushi at Kayagum, Marvin decided to take us out for dessert at Cha Me Cha where he said there was an amazing dessert we had to try. Continue reading

I’ve been to Kayagum four times now!! The perks of being backlogged on this blog is that almost a full month has passed from the point that I first stepped into Kayagum 24 Hours Korean Restaurant until now and in that span of time, I’ve returned again and again to dine here. Continue reading

After a spectacularly eventful and fun core meeting at our super duper new location at the North York City Hall, we ventured over to Oh Geul Boh Geul for some dinner. We were a big group of 8 and the restaurant was spacious enough to fit us all at the table near the wall.
We decided to share an assortment of Korean dishes. Oh Geul Boh Geul is on Yonge Street (in the uptown Koreantown) and just a short distance from Finch Subway Station which makes it easy to get to. Continue reading

At first, I thought Ocean Seafood Restaurant was a Chinese restaurant that only featured fancy six-course dinners with seafood and chicken and your other typical Chinese dishes. However, when we walked in looking for a casual HK-style cafe, Ocean Seafood Restaurant actually had a breakfast and lunch combo that fit exactly what a HK-style cafe serves! Continue reading

After we had lunch and checked out the Matsuri Japanese Summer Festival, we headed to Roll Play Cafe for some indoor fun. Roll Play Cafe is not the first board game cafe to arrived in Toronto; Snakes and Lattes was. Like a typical board game cafe, it features shelves and shelves of board games that you can play with for a set fee of $5. Rosa and Qiqi had been here before and back then they used to set a minimum order of $7 or so instead of a set playing fee where you could order food as part of the $7. Continue reading
Bayside Marketplace, Miami. February 2014
This week’s photo challenge really reminds me of how we sometimes just have to take random pictures when you’re in the moment because you never know how the picture or memory can come into use. What I’m talking about specifically is how I managed to dig up this photo that I took this year when I went to Miami for the first time with some wonderful people. Continue reading
1 Dundas St E in Toronto
My friends and I took a quick peek at the 2nd annual Toronto Japanese Summer Festival, Matsuri, that was happening downtown on the summery day of July 27. The weather was really nice with a slight breeze and very, very sunny. There were a lot of stalls selling Japanese art, cutlery, dolls, and performances on stage too. Of course, there was also a line-up of food stalls featuring Japanese vendors like Fin Izakaya, Touhenboku, Kingyo, and more. Continue reading
